PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE Ledger
claims authority direct from President Gar
rett for stating that the original Sully deal
being off, Mr.. Garrett has affected another
arrangement with a syndicate of railway
managers and bankers for control of the
proposed railway combination The price
to be paid for the Baltimore & Ohio stock
has been agreed upon, and only minor de-
tails remain unsettled. The new deal pro-
vides for southern and western railway con-
nections equally beneficial to the cities of
Baltimore and Philadelphia. The new arrange
ment also secures an independent outlet to
New York. Mr.. Glrrest and the Baltimore &.
Ohio will be on top in the syndicate. The
Baltimore & Ohio telegraph lines will re-
main independent of Mr. Gould's line, but
accessions to them in other directions are
contemplated. The contamination of the de-
tails will require some little time.

LADIES ON THEIR MUSCLE.
A FEMININE BENEFIT SOCIETY EN-
JOYS" A ScRlMMAGE,

During which Shrieks and Hair Fly
Around Lively-AH Because Horrid
Man Had Been Selected as Secretary
A Scene Equal to a Legislative Dead
Lock In New Jersey.
New YORK, March l7.-About forty MEM
bers of the Ladies' German Scheu:zsnbund
benefit society, of Newark, engaged in a
scrimmage Monday night that was little
short Of riot The members are divided
into two different factions. One Of them is
led by Mrs. Meta Hilson. the president, and
the other by Mrs. Annie Smith. The point
OF division was as to allowing men to become
members of the society. Mrs. Hilson, believ-
ing that none of the ladies were fitted for
corresponding secretary, had her fac
ton elect her husband to the position. He
performed the duties for year, and when,
at the expiration of his term, the usual COM
plimentary resolutions were offered, and
some one stepped forward to give him a
gold headed cane in acknowledgement of his
services, Mrs. Smith became excited and
warmly denounced him. She said he had
embezzled the society's money and was a
thief. The meeting adjourned in confusion
and the next day Mrs. Smith had him ar
rested for the alleged embezzlemsnt Justice
Roder. who examined the books at Hilson's
request, honorably acquitted him.
Monday was the time for the holding of
the next regular meeting after these devel-
opments. Before the appointed hour Mrs
Smith gathered her forces and went through
an election Of officers. When the Hiison
party entered the hall they found the off,
| GERS chairs occupied. A warm struggle en-
sued for the possession Of the gavel,
and then the two factions engaged
in a hand-to-hand hairpulling match.
For season the air was full of
shreks, lamentations, and yells Mrs. Smith
had provided herself with a cat-o'-nine-t tails,
and laid it around in the liveliest conceivable
fashion, while the gavel was used with good
effect by some one else. A number of men
attending a meeting in another room at
tempted to quell the disturbance, but were
powerless to do it, and the police had to be
summoned. Tuesday warrants were issued
for some of the combatants on the complaint
Of those whom they vanquished.

The ARGUS has no faith in the SUCCESS

The ARGUS has no faith in the success
of any such scheme as is reported to have
been concocted in Philadelphia TO retire
Samuel j. Randall from congress. 1t is
said that the plan is to so gerrymander
the congressional districts as to throw
Randall into a republican district. The
chief movers in the scheme are said to be
VIM. NJ. Singerly, strong free trader,
and editor of the Philadelphia Record,
the most largely circulated paper in
Pennsylvania, and James McManes, the
republican boss of Philadelphia. There
is no doubt that for the good of the
democratic party Randall ought to be re-
tired. but that is the very reason he won't
be. The pig iron barons rule PeGusyl>
vania with rods of steel, and it is safe to
say they will never stand by and see their
most willing and useful tool sacrificed.
Randall. masquerading as democrat is
worth more to them than any dozen re-
publican prOtectionIsts

MADE THEM LOOK BLUE.

BY JUDGE BARRETT
For Attempting to Play a Little Game
without Preeedent-A Pardon for
Freeman, Who Sacrificed His Little
Daughter While Crazed by Fanaticism-
nvuamiter Couvietel

Dynamiter Convicted.
NEW YORK March l7.-After adjourn
ment of the Clearly trial Wednesday after
noon Judge Barrett summoned counsel on
both sides before the bench and asked an ex
PLANTATION from counsel for the defense of the
application that had been made by thsm to
Judge Patterson in the supreme court cham
bers to grant a stay Of proceedings pending
proceedings for change of venue. Judge
Barrett characterized the application as alb
solutely in defiance of law, as it could prop
erly be made only before trial was begun.
Judge Patterson had evidently taken the
same view, as he had Endorsed the papers,
lease actually on trial." and referred them
to Judge Barrett
Counsel for Clearly looked rather shame
faced, and all but Mr.. Vincent declared that
they had nothing to do with the application
Mr.. Vincent shouldered all the blame, and
said be had made the application to satisfy
friends of Cleary who thought something
ought to be done. He had not expected it to
be granted. 1t was merely formal.
Judge Barrett said that On learning of the
application he had about made up his mind
to commit Cleary to jail, as it seemed to him
the application made after the defense had
exhausted their challenges and all other
means OF delay, indicated that there was a
possibility that Clearly might not be willing
to appear in court daily for trial After
hearing the explanation of counsel, however,
he had decided not to take Clearly He
would further consider the matter, but il he
then had the slightest belief that Cleary
was inclined to evade trial, he would order
him committed.
Counsel for Cleary looked very blue as
they left the court ROOM The affidavit pre-
sented to Judge Patterson by Mr.. Vincent
alleges that the difficulty of obtaining jurors
shows that the community is prejudiced
against Cleary. 1t further declares that
Judge Barrett had said from the bench that
it took coaxing to get jurors, this being
cited as additional evidence of the difficulty
Of securing unbiased men. The hostile atti-
tude of the press toward Clearly, and the cpl
tibet "boodler" applied TO him.are also cited as
grounds for change of venue to another
county. When court was adjourned there
was still n vacant seat in the iury-box
